Please Bypass This Heart

By: Jimmy Buffett, Will Jennings, Michael Utley

1985

"Close your eyes and click your heels, think of skating rinks and

spinning wheels. Of those who will and those who won't, some

hearts break while others don't."

Every day I read about these operations

That make a heart that's weak so strong again

I relate it to my own situation

And now I know just what to say to you

Chorus:

Please bypass this heart

Until I'm well again

Let's not even start, to fall, where we fell again

The cheating was sweet but my heart is beat

Don't tear it apart

Please bypass this heart

Please bypass this heart

In simpler times I didn't need a lotta healin'

My heart was young and strong and worked just fine

But now you've shown me there's a hurtin' side of feelin'

There's just one cure and here's what you must do

Chorus:

Please bypass this heart

Until I'm well again

Let's not even start, to fall, where we fell again

The cheating was sweet but my heart is beat

Don't tear it apart

Please bypass this heart

Please bypass this heart

-- Spoken:

"Skaters reverse"

"Couples only"

"All skate, all skate"

Chorus:

Please bypass this heart

Until I'm well again

Let's not even start, to fall, where we fell again

The cheating was sweet but my heart is beat

Don't tear it apart

Please bypass this heart

Please bypass this heart
